Deswai when the car is in the workshop then probably i bring extractor home to molest lolit's gonna take at least 2 days to remove, sand, polish and then install back.
Not enough space d, it's about 1cm away from my aircond fan. Which i already grind off the metal housing a bit. If not cannot fit at all.Find exhaust heat shield cover, cover up......lol
ya lolAftermarket header no place to screw heatshield...lol
It hurt my soul a little. when i got the extractor it's silver, after one day of usage its gold then one week later there's these titanium stained look near the ports and now it's covered in oil stain everywhere lol God damn workshop pasang with oily hands then fire up the engine onlyY1288 :
Don't be a wuss. A little oil stain never hurt anyone. Just chrome the thing and bling it with gemstones for special 3D effects.
And generally those titanium stained look is done with heat right? If you lost the stain you need to go heat it up with a hot welding tool or a flame thrower. I recommend the flame thrower. Melt body parts is the new black too. Doooooooiiiiiiiittttt
Other than Autosol, you try Brasso. Last time Brasso comes in clear liquid form. Now they have the cream version like Autosol. Brasso is a lot stronger tho.i've tried Autosol on a stainless exhaust manifold but it was a pain as the results were barely substantial or worth the effort to work on the entire manifold. You might be better off sand blasting it and have it thermal coated maybe

just stumbled on this video, there may be hope for polishing paste after all. The video says their polish is different because it is made for stainless steel exhaust specifically and unlike the regular pastes, this product is not aluminium friendly so that might explain its effectiveness for polishing exhausts
Thanks for the info Tom! Appreciate it gonna go read up more about this product. I wonder if malaysia imported this :hmmmm:i've tried Autosol on a stainless exhaust manifold but it was a pain as the results were barely substantial or worth the effort to work on the entire manifold.

They call it as AL material. What could that be? Not SS but not white steel either.Your extractor is cast iron or white steel or SS ?
Really aluminum? I think it should be because I asked a friend studying degree for chemistry. What is AL. He said should be aluminum. The guy who sold me the exhaust also said this kind of extractor won't rust.AL is aluminum woh! or for exhaust some mixture becomes alloy......:hmmmm:
Maybe I need to continue scraping them off with something?This looks like mild steel.....could be AL mix.....
Try Scotch Brite with some strong scrubbing paste, next is steel wool if scotch brite don't work. Of course final stuff to try is sand paper....Maybe I need to continue scraping them off with something?
